Case Study: Allergan achieves greater agility, compliance, and cost savings with Amazon Web Services

Allergan - Customer Case Study

Allergan, a global pharmaceutical company with more than 400 marketing websites, needed a faster way to launch new sites and online campaigns as it grew through acquisitions. Its on-premises data center and slow server procurement process made it hard to keep up, while also meeting strict FDA and HIPAA compliance requirements. Allergan chose Amazon Web Services to support its Sitecore CMS-based website portfolio and improve agility.

Amazon Web Services helped Allergan migrate more than 400 marketing websites and applications to the cloud using services including Amazon EC2, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon RDS, Amazon S3, and AWS Direct Connect. The result was instant server provisioning instead of waiting weeks, better compliance control, improved performance, and lower operating costs; Allergan also saved $140,000 annually by moving from Akamai to CloudFront.
